Not really surprised at thenames on this list but more surprised at the names not there. Was sure Williams, Navarro and Troy would go - because of cost and fitness issues, which is why, I assume, Jay has gone(and age as well in his case). Have Rooney and Abombar already gone?

Also agree. McEveley was pretty steady throughout the game, whereas Luongo had a poor first half. Their first goal was a result of him not competing for a ball that should have been his in midfield. He woke up in the second half and showed us what we know he can do. To be fair though, most of our players seemed to think it was a 4:15 kick-off today.

As with others, very sad to see Jay not retained, he has had his best season with us and was a good role model to the younger ones. Unlucky for Oakley who never got a chance because of injury and disappointed Alex Smith and Lee Cox aren't going to get another opportunity having only got back of late.

Wish all of them good luck in finding new clubs.

It's tough but clearing out the high earners and those who haven't shown enough over the season is the last phase of returning to some degree of sustainable expenditure after the DiCanio/Wray madness.
Jay was likely on a high salary. I would be surprised if there weren't negotiations behind the scenes trying to keep him on much less money, but no agreement could be reached so he is on his way.

There was much doom mongering after the clearout last summer and we only finished 2 places lower. I'm looking forward to some exciting new permanent and loan signings ahead of the new season.

Ah how the tide turns... I remember Jay getting slagged after his debut at Wembley by some .... now he is a hero. Fair play to him he won everyone over with his committed performances ... wish him well, if only, if only, either his header or today's shot had gone in rather than hit he bar...he could add goalscoring to his fame.

Wish him all the best and an injury free rest of career, no prima donna and gave everything he could for the cause.

Jay's passion & commitment to the team has been outstanding in recent weeks & will be sorely missed. I'm sure he wanted to remain but with a young family based in the north-east, plus all the cost-cutting at the club now things between his agent and the club couldn't be agreed. One of the reasons why young Matty Jones has now been signed on, no doubt. A great shame Kayden Jackson was never given an opportunity. Having watched him regularly at Supermarine he was outstanding, pace to burn & an eye for goal. Having watched Connor Waldron today, on that evidence, I feel Kayden would have threatened Rotherham more than Connor did.

Took his time to be accepted which I think was due to his debut coming at Wembley but has IMO been one of the most consistent and committed (sometimes too much so) players over the last two seasons.

Definitely one of Paolo's better signings and wonder if there was a clause in his contract which meant we couldn't afford to renew. Get the feeling he wanted to stay and I will applaud his return.

Williams I think has another year to go on contract. Hope he stays good player.

Would imagine all other incoming talent will be loans and the odd non-league out-performer like Ben. All low financial risk, high potential.

Would like to see Stephens back on a season long loan but feel that transfer activity at St. Mary's after such a good season will mean he gets a chance in their first team.

Other loans will be a case of what is available to us on youth loan system (U21) as this is all our budget will stretch to. Spurs, Saints have excellent set-ups and are geographically 'not so far away' so would hope we can successfully tap into those pools again.

If we were to sign a player or two on permanent contracts, here are a few effective players that wouldn't necessarily break the bank:
From league one:
Jon Taylor from the Shrews (RM) hit 9 league goals and is only 21. (1yr left on contract but they have been relegated so might be looking to move)
Chuks Aneke (STR) hit 14 league goals for Crewe on loan and is only 20. (Arsenal contract expires this summer)
Frank Moussa hit 13 league goals for Coventry is 24 and is out of contract this this summer.
Nicky Ajose hit 13 league goals is 22 and is also out of contract this summer.
From league two:
Billy Kee hit 12 league goals for Burton is 23 and is out of contract this summer.
Rhys Murphy hit 13 goals for the Daggers is 23 and is out of contract this summer.
From the L2 promoted teams: Hogan (17 goals, 22 years) and Winall (23 goals, 23 years) for Rochdale and the Iron respectively would be great signings. Winall is officially out of contract this Summer though Hogan has a year to run. Would expect hot competition for either player.

.
When a player is out of contract he too has the choice to go and that is what Jay has done
.
Power said he has offers from clubs up north and we can't afford him so HE chose to go
.
Jay of last season and early part of this is no loss - but the Jay of the last few months will be a big loss as since the Ward dropping and shift in system Jay has been superb!
.
Wish him well and should get a decent reception on his return as no playing games around staying
.
Only shock from list was A.Smith as thought he had done well - but I think we can see where we are heading.
.
Matt Jones is an LB and Cooper said expected to step up and challenge - so he is now Byrne's understudy (who was excellent yesterday)
.
Oakley a tad disappointed as he was always raved about - it I guess Power, Cooper and Williams know best and if Branco (bit iffy yesterday) is seen as the better prospect next season so be it
.
As for Williams and Navarro - must be due to injury not mentioned as only fit players on the list - but they have to be going - 100% sure they only signed 2 year deals
.
Core squad of 17 above is not bad as the key players are still hear - Power just needs to really work his magic to add 4/5 good players to it in his summer recruitment drive

Billy Kee hit 12 league goals for Burton is 23 and is out of contract this summer.
Rhys Murphy hit 13 goals for the Daggers is 23 and is out of contract this summer.
From the L2 promoted teams: Hogan (17 goals, 22 years) and Winall (23 goals, 23 years) for Rochdale and the Iron respectively would be great signings. Winall is officially out of contract this Summer though Hogan has a year to run. Would expect hot competition for either player.

Any of those would do me Fernham

Other loans will be a case of what is available to us on youth loan system (U21) as this is all our budget will stretch to. Spurs, Saints have excellent set-ups and are geographically 'not so far away' so would hope we can successfully tap into those pools again.
If we were to sign a player or two on permanent contracts, here are a few effective players that wouldn't necessarily break the bank:
From league one:
Jon Taylor from the Shrews (RM) hit 9 league goals and is only 21. (1yr left on contract but they have been relegated so might be looking to move)
Chuks Aneke (STR) hit 14 league goals for Crewe on loan and is only 20. (Arsenal contract expires this summer)
Frank Moussa hit 13 league goals for Coventry is 24 and is out of contract this this summer.

Why is everyone saying getting shot of Jay is a mistake
.
When a player is out of contract he too has the choice to go and that is what Jay has done
.
Power said he has offers from clubs up north and we can't afford him so HE chose to go
.
Jay of last season and early part of this is no loss - but the Jay of the last few months will be a big loss as since the Ward dropping and shift in system Jay has been superb!
.
Wish him well and should get a decent reception on his return as no playing games around staying
.
Only shock from list was A.Smith as thought he had done well - but I think we can see where we are heading.
.
Matt Jones is an LB and Cooper said expected to step up and challenge - so he is now Byrne's understudy (who was excellent yesterday)
.
Oakley a tad disappointed as he was always raved about - it I guess Power, Cooper and Williams know best and if Branco (bit iffy yesterday) is seen as the better prospect next season so be it
.
As for Williams and Navarro - must be due to injury not mentioned as only fit players on the list - but they have to be going - 100% sure they only signed 2 year deals
.
Core squad of 17 above is not bad as the key players are still hear - Power just needs to really work his magic to add 4/5 good players to it in his summer recruitment drive
.
Hope this year perms are first - then we fill gaps with loanees rather than other way round

Disagree on the core squad being not bad it looks very light to me.

7 'first teamers' - Wes, Nathan, Nathan, Mass, Louis, Kasim, Smith

8 first team fringes or back up - Tyrell, Harley, Storey, Branco, Barthram, Reis, Gladwin, Barker

2 Youth - Matt Jones, Waldon

Happy with the first teamers, but the rest have a lot to prove, although Storey, Tyrell, Branco and Gladwin are the pick of the rest.

Cooper said Williams had 3 year contract on the Friday phone in but Sam said he was wrong it was only 2. Guess that needs clearing up.

Also has Navarro retired or left, been quiet on him for months.

Ah how the tide turns... I remember Jay getting slagged after his debut at Wembley by some .... now he is a hero. Fair play to him he won everyone over with his committed performances ... wish him well, if only, if only, either his header or today's shot had gone in rather than hit he bar...he could add goalscoring to his fame.

Wish him all the best and an injury free rest of career, no prima donna and gave everything he could for the cause.

Agreed.

Agree that there are no real surprises in the release list although I'm also with others see Jay leave, and I wish him well.

However this list is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of departures. My worry is, that in the coming months, we could lose the core of the side. And in this core, I would include the following; Wes, Troy, Stevens (back to Soton and possibly on to a Championship side), Nathan Thompson and baring in mind that Ranger is finished with Swindon. If these players leave for whatever reason, I worry about what is left and with a much reduced budget next season, whether we would be able to recruit new players of sufficient quality.

I'm not saying that players I have mentioned will want to leave but if the club receives good offers for them, it's hard to see those offers being refused. I also think that Storey may be sold. :/

Maybe it was 2 and has recently been renegotiated and extended to 3! Now wouldn't that please Jock and LR! (to name but 2). I still think Williams is a better player than he's been given credit for. Would be happy to see him in a Town shirt next season.

Would imagine all other incoming talent will be loans and the odd non-league out-performer like Ben. All low financial risk, high potential.

Would like to see Stephens back on a season long loan but feel that transfer activity at St. Mary's after such a good season will mean he gets a chance in their first team.

Other loans will be a case of what is available to us on youth loan system (U21) as this is all our budget will stretch to. Spurs, Saints have excellent set-ups and are geographically 'not so far away' so would hope we can successfully tap into those pools again.

If we were to sign a player or two on permanent contracts, here are a few effective players that wouldn't necessarily break the bank:
From league one:
Jon Taylor from the Shrews (RM) hit 9 league goals and is only 21. (1yr left on contract but they have been relegated so might be looking to move)
Chuks Aneke (STR) hit 14 league goals for Crewe on loan and is only 20. (Arsenal contract expires this summer)
Frank Moussa hit 13 league goals for Coventry is 24 and is out of contract this this summer.
Nicky Ajose hit 13 league goals is 22 and is also out of contract this summer.
From league two:
Billy Kee hit 12 league goals for Burton is 23 and is out of contract this summer.
Rhys Murphy hit 13 goals for the Daggers is 23 and is out of contract this summer.
From the L2 promoted teams: Hogan (17 goals, 22 years) and Winall (23 goals, 23 years) for Rochdale and the Iron respectively would be great signings. Winall is officially out of contract this Summer though Hogan has a year to run. Would expect hot competition for either player.

my first signing would be Danny Holland, who is now out of contract, but think Pompey might have first call as he's done a great job there after a disappointing spell at Gills
